[Luisa writes]:

💕Jesus, my life, the beating of my poor heart and the center of my intelligence, my lowliness is completely immersed and lost in You.As the tiny child I am, [on my own] I am incapable of taking so much as one step. Therefore, I approach You and lay hold of your hand so that, with You, I may enter into the unending light of your Divine Fiat.

Let us now together enter the bosom of Our Heavenly Father who now pronounces the first Fiat, which releases so much light that one cannot see where it ends. O my Jesus, let my soul receive all the virtue, power, holiness and light of your adorable Fiat. May I experience nothing but the life of your Fiat that enables me to embrace all things, requite You in all things, compensate for everyone and captivate it on the earth, so it may return triumphant and establish its reign among all creatures. And so my love, I am here to make my flight within your Will and follow all its acts.
Oh, how beautiful it is to contemplate13 the Supreme Majesty as God pronounces one Fiat and

brings forth the blue expansion of the skies and arrays them with millions of stars to enchant us with their light. He pronounces another Fiat and creates the sun. He pronounces another Fiat and creates the wind, the air, the sea and all the elements with such order and harmony as to captivate their beholder.
My beloved [Father, Son] Jesus [Christ and Holy Spirit], I desire to possess all the love that your Divine Fiat14 issued forth in creating the star-studded sky, so that I may extend my sky of love within your own Fiat; I envelop all the stars with my love to convey my voice to the sky and to all the stars, whereby they may repeat with me: “[My God] I love You! May your Kingdom come quickly and reign on earth!” To your Divine Will may there be endless glory in heaven. I make my flight above all the stars to adore and sing out your divine steadfastness and your invincible Being, so that souls may be steadfast in doing good and disposed to receive the Kingdom of your Will.
My love, I continue my rounds and arrive at the sun. I contemplate the act in which You, from the bosom

14 Luisa addresses Jesus as the Father’s eternal Word through whom he pronounces his Fiat. While the three divine Persons pronounce three distinct Fiats – the Father creates, the Son Redeems and the Holy Spirit sanctifies – all three divine Persons concur in all three Fiats (cf. L. Piccarreta, volume 15, December 16, 1922).

In his work, De Trinitate, St. Augustine affirms that all three divine Persons operate as one: “They are not three Gods, but one God… the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, as they are indivisible, so they operate indivisibly” (Augustine, De Trin. 1.4.7, PL 42.824; NBA 4.14-16).

of your divinity, pronounced your Fiat that generated so much light as to formed this globe of light that would envelop the earth and all of its inhabitants and convey to each of them its kiss of light and love. Through it, everything was meant to become beautiful, fruitful, colorful, embellished and enriched.

[Heavenly Father,] this sun was unleashed from your bosom when You pronounced your [divine] Fiat for love of us.15 And I desire to receive all the light, warmth and effects of this sun, so that I may, in turn, offer You my own [spiritual] sun by means of which I praise, love, glorify and bless your everlasting light and unquenchable love, your exquisite beauty, your infinite sweetness and your unending artistry. Indeed, You have placed within this sun all of the qualities it enjoys. Wherefore with the very sunlight [of the sun] I embrace You; with its own warmth I offer You my ardent [mystical] kiss; with my voice I enliven all of its brilliance and effects; from the heights of this heavenly sphere to the very depths of its descending rays, I implore the Kingdom of your [Divine] Fiat.

I entreat You, my love, to unveil the light [of this Kingdom] by casting its rays to earth and establishing its reign in all creatures. And I, on the wings of the sun’s luminous rays, approach You and implore to reign of the Kingdom of your [Divine] Fiat. From the center of the sun, I entreat You to cast your [uncreated] light into the hearts of men and illuminate them with [with grace of]

15 In the original Italian manuscript Luisa writes, “…out of love for me

your own [divine] sun; unleash your love upon them and vanquish from them whatever opposes your [Divine] Will. For by casting your light in them, You empower them to acquire your divine beauty and sweetness in such a way that they will desist from their anger and from causing You anymore bitterness, and the face of the earth shall be renewed.
My life, how happy I am to say to You, “A sun You have given me, and a sun I give unto You! Now that I have this heavenly body of the sun in my power, I ask You along with the sun to establish on earth the Kingdom of your [Divine] Fiat. Can You perhaps resist this great light [of ours] that implores You? Therefore, O Jesus, make haste and do not delay! This sun is your divine sentinel. My love, grant that as the light of the sun descends upon your children, it may reveal to all of them the Kingdom of your Fiat – may it reveal to them its holiness and its burning desire to bath them in You, whereby they may be happy and holy.”
